QueerCarrie Final episode.

I finally finished the year-long project that was QueerCarrie. I was not a fan of the feminist-lite franchise but I was intrigued by the societal expectations it set forth for women, hetero-heavy narrative not withstanding. The series was ripe for remixing thanks to an all female cast, character-driven story focused on a deconstruction of social norms and a voice over to manipulate and bend at my will. I work with heavily gendered sources like Sex and the City because it is so easily disregarded as chick-flick nonsense. While not revolutionary or defiant of stereotypes, the series has potential: in each episode, the female characters spend an enormous amount of time dissecting each others’ social expectations and behavior. By editing out existing heterosexual innuendos and male characters, I wanted to create an alternative narrative not typically associated with the original source material.
